Civic leaders here after careful In­ vestigation have decided that it would be dangerous to stahd for nonparti­ san delegates, in view of widely di­ verging opinions. Attorneys Levy Mayer and" S. S. Gregory, it is said, have given opin­ ion that a nonpartisan election would be legal. - On the other hand. Attorneys John P. Wilson and Silas Strawn have given opinion, it is reported, that delegates must be elected on party lines the same as state senators are chosen. Attorney General Brundage Is said to be of this latter view. If arrangements can be made for a speedy Supreme court decision. It Is possible .that a non-partisan dele­ gate bill will be put up to. this tri­ bunal. Under this plan the legislature would pass a party delegate bill If the nonpartisan measure were held Invalid. But this is not a probable course. It is doubtful If even a non­ partisan delegate bill could be passed in time, the prospects are not bright for nonpartisan election legislation _ , ^ : A ..

Emmerson, secretary of state, col­ lected $1,169,720.53 in foreign and do­ mestic corporation fees, an increase of $593,185.97 over 1917, according to fig­ ures made public. Practically all of the Increase, It was pointed out, came from foreign corporations, resulting from the op­ eration of a new law enacted by the Fiftieth general assembly, which pro­ vides that the secretary of state shall send out Interrogatories to concerns porated In other states and doing isiness In Illinois. The foreign corporations .are re* quired to answer a large number of questions under oath. If it appears from the responses that the companies are not remitting the entire amount of fees due the state, the secretary la empowered to demand the money In arrears, and on failure to collect it re­ voke the license.

In a message solemnly urging con- gress to appropriate the $100,000,000 requested for European food relief. President Wilson said bolshevlsm, steadily advancing westward, could not be stopped by force, but could be stopped by food. Food relief, he said, was the key to the whole European situation and to the solutions of peace. A message from Henry White, mem­ ber of the American peace delegation, to the state department said that the "startling westward advance of bol­ shevlsm" dominated the entire Euro­ pean situation above all else, and that it was of the utmost Importance that the president's request be granted at once. • Following Is the president's mes­ sage: "I cannot too earnestly or solemnly urge upon the congress the appropria­ tion for which Mr. Hoover has asked for the administration of food relief. Food relief is now the key to the whole European situation and to the solu­ tions of peace. Bolshevism is steadily advancing westward, is poisoning Ger­ many. It cannot be stopped by force, but it can be stopped by food, and all the leaders with whom I am in confer­ ence agree that concerted action in this matter ja of immediate and vital importance. "The money will not be spent for food for Germany Itself, because Ger­ many can buy Its food, but it will be spent for financing the movement of food to our real friends In Poland and to the people of the liberated units of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and to our associates in the Balkans. I beg that you will present this matter with all possible urgency and force to the congress. "I do not see how we can find defin­ ite powers with whom to ' conclude peace unless this means of stemming the t\de of anarchism be employed." Mr. White's message said: "Feel I should no longer delay lay­ ing before you conditions which have been gradually forcing themselves upon our delegation and which now dominate entire European situation above all else, namely, startling west-, ward advance of bolshevlsm. It how completely controls Russia and Poland and is spreading through German^. "Only effective barrier apparently now against it is food relief, as bolshevlsm thrives only on starvation and disor­ der. I consider It, therefore of the Ut­ most importance that president's re­ quest for $100,000,000 appropriation for relief be granted at once. Impos­ sible to inaugurate peace conference under proper auspices without pre­ vious adequate provisions to cope with situation. "Aside from the stoppage of bol­ shevlsm I understand there Is in the United Statfe considerable surplus of food accumulated at high prices main­ tenance whereof guaranteed by our government or assurance under its auspices, and that it is necessary to dispose of this surplus In order to re­ lieve warehouse and financial facilities as well as prevent serious fall In prices with radical break in market which would cost our country more than the appropriation asked for. '"The appropriation Is not for the purpose of advancing money to Ger­ many, which will pay on a cash basis rfor any food sent there. Allies are al­ ready furnishing to liberated terri­ tories and are disposed to assist oth­ erwise to extent of their available re­ sources, but most of the food must come from the United States. I can­ not too> strongly Impress upon you jirg- eney of meeting situation herein de­ scribed." The president's, message, addressed to Senator Martin of Virginia and Rep­ resentative Sherley of Kentucky, chair­ men of the congressional appropria­ tions committees, and that of Mr. White were read on the floor- of the house by Mr. Sherley during debate on .a special rule to give immediate con­ federation to the appropriation bill. . -ihWf WORKS DENVER Belated Citizens Are Held Up ̂> *y Hold-up-Man Oe - ̂ .

Modern Raffles Dislikes Old Watches, but He Dearly Loves Coin-- •: '^ioeen* Use Strongat V* " Word Than Dam. ^ Denver, Colo.--"Raffles," the gentle­ manly cracksman, has nothing on a bandit who has been making free with other people's bankrolls here for over two months. The exploits of Denver's hold-up man „de luxe began last Bum­ mer when a sturdy chap, clad In a dingy mackinaw, stuck a gun under the point of an astonished citizen's nose and ordered him to come across with his valuables. The astonished citlsen compiled, passing over a roil consisting of $17.80 cash, a check otfiTlocal bank, and an antiquated timepiece. The robber surveyed the latter and then promptly handed it back, remarking as an heir­ loom it might be a good watch, but that he had no use for it.' The following night the marauder appeared at precisely the same spot and this time two citizens pointed their hands skyward at the sound of his command, and the sight of a huge nickeled revolver. ^ Stuck Up Four. His most recent affair occurred on a Saturday night when he stuck up no less than four belated townsmen who were turning their steps home­ ward, framing excuses as they went. Suddenly the bad man appeared and repeated his usual formula of "Hands up, and darned quick about it!" (be­ ing a gentleman,' he never uses a stronger word than darn). Anyway, the four late home-goers, or early, whichever way yon care to look at it, elevated their hands with all the darned quickness desired by Raffles the Second. Three of them were ordi­ nary citzens; that is to say, they are In civil life. The fpurth was a sol- . Russ Captives to Be Aided.
